SetJoyPortAttrsA -- change the attributes of a port. (V40.27)
SetJoyPortAttrs -- varargs stub for SetJoyPortAttrsA(). (V40.27)
success = SetJoyPortAttrsA(portNumber, tagList);
D0 D0 A1
BOOL SetJoyPortAttrsA(ULONG, struct TagItem *);
Success = SetJoyPortAttrs(portNumber, firstTag, ...);
BOOL SetJoyPortAttrs(Tag, ...);
This function allows modification of several attributes held by
ReadJoyPort() about both it's operation and the type of controller
currently plugged into the port.
ReadJoyPort()'s default behavior is to attempt to automatically
sense the type of controller plugged into any given port, when
asked to read that port. This behavior is beneficial, to allow
simple detection of the type of controller plugged into the port.
Unfortunately, rare cases are possible where extremely fine
mouse movements appear to be real joystick movements. Also, this
ability to auto-sense the controller type causes most reads to
take longer than if there were no auto-sensing.
SetJoyPortAttrs() is intended to provide for both of these cases.
It allows the programmer to notify ReadJoyPort() to stop spending
time attempting to sense which type of controller is in use -- and,
optionally, to force ReadJoyPort() into utilizing a certain
controller type.
portNumber - the joyport in question (0-3).
tagList - a pointer to an array of tags providing parameters
to SetJoyPortAttrs(); if NULL, the function
will return TRUE, but do nothing.
SJA_Type (ULONG) - Sets the current controller type to the mouse,
joystick, or game controller. Supply one of
SJA_TYPE_GAMECTLR, SJA_TYPE_MOUSE, SJA_TYPE_JOYSTK,
or SJA_TYPE_AUTOSENSE. If SJA_TYPE_AUTOSENSE is used,
ReadJoyPort() will attempt to determine the type of
controller plugged into the given port automatically.
If one of the other types is used, ReadJoyPort() will
make no attempt to read the given controller as
anything other than the type specified. The default
type is SJA_AUTOSENSE.
Note -- if you set the type to anything other than
auto-sense, it's your responsibility to return it
to auto-sense mode before exiting.
SJA_Reinitialize (VOID) - Return a given port to it's initial state,
forcing a port to deallocate any allocated resources;
return the implied type to SJA_TYPE_AUTOSENSE.
success - TRUE if everything went according to plan, or FALSE upon
failure
